In the early morning of November 6, the first leg of the 2016-2017 Short Track Speed Skating World Cup, Calgary, Canada, generated its first gold. In the women's 500m final, Chinese star Fan Kexin won the championship. However, the process of Fan Kexin's victory is full of drama.
A total of four players participated in the final, and Fan Kexin was in the last place when he started. During the corner, Canada's Bradt drilled through the air and collided with Italy's Fontana, causing the latter to fall off the track, and the accident also affected the leading Canadian star St. Glyses, who also fell later. Fan Kexin stood out and took the lead in hitting the line with a time of 44.096 seconds!
After the match, the referee ruled that Bradt was fouled, St. Glees was second, and Fang Tana, who fell and injured, did not finish the game, so that no bronze medal was issued in this event.
This scene can't help but be reminiscent of the women's 500m final of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, when Britain's Christie fouled and brought down South Korea's Park Seung-il, Italy's Fang Tana, and in the end, Lee Kin-rou, who was in the last place, was lucky to win the championship.
